For a Paris Saint-Germain fan, these are not easy times. The Parisian club is "on the verge" of elimination from the UEFA Champions League, after having lost a goal to nil against Bayern Munich at the Parc des Princes, Kylian Mbappe threatens to leave for Real Madrid, the club could be fed up with Neymar Jr according to 'RMC Sport'. Last but not least, the renewal of Lionel Messi would be stagnant.

The strong news of the week was just broadcast by 'El Nacional', in which it would have revealed what would be a requirement for the Argentine world champion not to move from the city of Paris. While Lionel Messi sets his sights on the second leg of the Champions League round of 16 against Bayern Munich, the PSG board is working on renewing him. An upcoming meeting between the 'Flea' environment and the Parisian dome is expected after the key against the Germans and now the alleged requirement that the top Ballon d'Or winner (7) would have to continue at the French club until 2024 is revealed.

There is uncertainty about the situation of Lionel Messi at PSG. The captain of the Argentine team has not yet given a positive response to the French team and, amid speculation, FC Barcelona is looking forward to his return. Despite the desire of the Catalans, Jorge Messi, father of the best player in history, pointed out that the "economic conditions" do not exist to make a return to Catalonia a reality.

Now, the portal 'El Nacional' announced that Messi has a requirement not to move from Paris. Beyond the economic improvement after being world champion, the 'Flea' would ask for reinforcements to strengthen the squad led by Christophe Galtier. The transfer market in the current campaign has been criticized and Leo would press for the squad to be ranked.

The names that sound in the PSG to convince Messi to stay:

Despite the fact that PSG is still competing for Ligue 1 and the Champions League, they are already thinking about next season and would be following in the footsteps of Kolo Muani, the well-remembered striker who almost ruined the party for the Argentine team at the Qatar World Cup, if it weren't for the spectacular save by Emi Martínez. In addition, the Parisians would also go for Marcos Thuram. The fans ask for a new opportunity for Leandro Paredes, who is on loan to Juventus in the 2022-2023 campaign. All these conditions would mean that Lionel Messi can agree to stay at least one or two more years at Paris Saint-Germain. however there is nothing official and Lionel has not ruled on it. If you're a PSG fan, you just have to wait and hope for the best.
